[@Detz0325]

So sad no company saw his unique voice and gave him a chance. His singing style is so unique, he makes like an eerie version of each song.

[@elieazouz]

well said

[@FURF0XSAKE]

He actually sounds a lot like Matthew Bellamy. Eerie/Dramatic is a big Muse trait. I still love this guy, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if he took some inspiration from Muse.

[@hfault6205]

hes not signed?

[@whatthe118]

Curious that no company has signed him, yes. But his singing style is not 100% unique. He sounds a lot like the singer from The Muse. The parallels are very obvious. I liked The Muse, but they were so niche back in the day that I wonder if their legacy is holding him back a bit.

[@RandomApexLootbox]

Yeah that's the problem, I think. When you're sitting in the audience and experience it live it's probably amazing even if you're not into this kind of music but the main stream audience at home wouldn't dig it, I believe. Record companies will think the same.

[@recipequeen7850]

it's like crying with no tears

[@xtinaozes]

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

It's 7 years later and youtube suggested this video to me randomly. I instantly went going to see if I could buy his music.... NOBODY SIGNED THIS GUY? I've spent my entire morning trying to find music from this guy and cannot find it. I'm making posts about how INSANE it is that he's now making music right now. This isn't how I wanted to spend my morning... but WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? How on earth is this guy tweeting about selling CBD oil on twitter, and not a massive music star?

[@Nothingfailz]

nooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@jhhayes7241]

This guy is a phenomenal singer. There is emotion behind every note. There are little nuances as he changes from his chest register to his gut. I absolutely love this artist. A great cover; this performances is hauntingly beautiful.

[@Skiptondesigns]

J Hayes what u talking about? he is totally off from the original vocal.

[@jhhayes7241]

Wonder T What I is talking about is Lee made this song HIS. His arrangement was completely and utterly fantastic. Nobody can top George Michael's original (arrangement and vocal). That said, Lee's arrangement is both inspiring (haunting, mystical and beautiful) and more importantly, his.

[@Skiptondesigns]

J Hayes But its not his song to re-arrange and tamper with. I hate covers for this reason. An artist has released a song sounding how they want it to sound because they wrote it. It's their song. Then someone comes around and totally dismantles it. But that's my opinion and I am entitled to it like you are J Hayes. :)

[@omidfarshi]

Wonder T I can say that you don't understand music Also this guy has lots of emotions behind is voice that I can say George Michael did not have

[@Skiptondesigns]

dimoirs I don't understand music? Really? OK let's see if this 'guy' is in music for as long as George Michael. This version of GM song is boring.

[@PNW_Marxist]

He could sing the goddamned weather forecast and give me goosebumps. Such a shame he didn't end up winning.

[@maniaciam8225]

Which Round did he knocked out? do'ya know?

He got up to the semifinals.

[@groovy2033]

stillontheproperty 06 like a careless whisper

[@geraldrada]

This guy is a natural born artist. You can't even describe him as a rough diamond because he is a finished diamond. There's nothing to add, nothing to change, nothing else you can ask him to improve. He's got a unique voice (mysterious, eerie, nostalgic, melancholic, full of emotion and passion); he's got taste for clothes; unique and expressive body language; good looks; and above all he can create! he's songs are different from anything else on the market. It's not just a tremendous sadness that he doesn't have an album on the shelves of any music shop, it's an outright sin. This is the 21st century. A singer of this level should be selling albums a long time ago. Couldn't any of those fancy judges full of cash not invest in him? If I was one of them I would resign from the position of judge the moment Lee Glasson was taken out of the competition and I would promote him myself. You've got to be a total idiot or a very envious/jealous pop star not to support this artist.

[@DerexWolfheart]

how is it nostalgic?

[@greatbudapesthotel698]

YO MUSIC INDUSTRY... IT'S 2021, 7 YEARS after this guy sang. HOW THE HECK IS HE NOT MAKING MUSIC? I would SNAP BUY his album if it were available. Someone go dig this guy up and make an album, or do you hate free money? I feel like I'm in the twilight zone - how is this guy not famous and making music? He has 104 subs on youtube. He's tweeting about CBD oil this morning. Did he just not want that life? I can respect that, but the world needs the next generations Thom Yorke, or muse. Good heavens someone go find this guy and dig him out of whatever he's doing, chain him to a recording studio and put an album out. What planet am I on where this guy isn't selling music right now?

[@unicornpooprainbowvomit8062]

Its been 3 years and I'm back again. I seriously cannot find any other artists that makes songs similar to him except for muse. He has something so special. I think its a perfect time for him to start his music career if he's still serious. Music runs so freely now through the internet, he has a good chance of making it bc artists aren't so dependent on music companies making them heard. At least now compared to before.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Hi, 2 years later... this got suggested randomly by youtube. I was STUNNED. I love radiohead, muse... I'm like... WOW i HAVE A NEW FAVORITE BAND!

Best performance Ever in "the voice" The sense of emotions is just fenomenal

it's easy to ignore the saxophone completely, I loved so much and it's very emotional, gives the lyrics more meaning

[@amante1984]

this was pure talent, the way he interprets the song is awesome, i ve never seen anyone doing what he did with this classic, amazing, plus the way he gets into the song when he sings makes him sing not only with his mouth but with all his body, those moves and gestures are what transmit emotion and make people really feel the song.

[@jonathandrennan3323]

A prime example of why sometimes talent isn't enough. This guy had so much, yet no record label gave him a chance. He's now working back in his old job, while musicians with a fraction of his ability are touring around the world.

[@LJG]

Thanks Jonathan, the truth is though that I just didn’t want to do music any more.

He has an incredible voice and from what I can tell would be followed by people around the world. Come on Lee, do what you were born to do and sing. Let's tell the music industry what we want for a change, not what they want us to hear!

Фактически, он отработал не как певец, а как гениальный композитор - далее отработав свою версию голосом. И это гениально. Сразу вспоминается Макс Рихтер по схожему атмосферному перерождению музыки, просто обожаю его версию Вивальди, до мурашек пробирает и в космос улетаешь.
